Joshua 10
1 When Adonizedek, the king of Jerusalem, had heard these things, specifically, that Joshua had seized Ai, and had overthrown it, (for just as he had done to Jericho and its king, so did he do to Ai and its king, ) and that the Gibeonites had fled over to Israel, and were now their confederates,
Eka Adoni-Zedek ruodh Jerusalem nowinjo ni Joshua osekawo Ai mi okethe chuth kendo onego ruodhe mana kaka nosetimone Jeriko kendo ni jo-Gibeon osetimo winjruok mar kwe gi jo-Israel mi gidak butgi.
2 he was very afraid. For Gibeon was a great city, and was one of the royal cities, and was greater than the town of Ai, and all its warriors were very strong.
En gi joge ne gibuok ahinya kuom wachni nikech Gibeon ne en dala maduongʼ mongirore, mana kaka achiel kuom mier madongo maka ruoth. Ne oduongʼ moloyo Ai, kendo joge duto ne gin jokedo mabeyo.
3 Therefore, Adonizedek, the king of Jerusalem, sent to Hoham, the king of Hebron, and to Piram, the king of Jarmuth, and also to Japhia, the king of Lachish, and to Debir, the king of Eglon, saying:
Omiyo Adoni-Zedek ruodh Jerusalem nokwayo Hoham, ruodh Hebron, Piram ruodh Jarmuth, Jafia ruodh Lakish kod Debir ruodh Eglon niya,
4 “Ascend to me, and bring troops, so that we may fight against Gibeon. For it has fled over to Joshua and the sons of Israel.”
“Biuru mondo ukonya monjo Gibeon nikech oseloso kwe kod Joshua gi jo-Israel.”
5 And so, having assembled, the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, together with their armies, went up and encamped around Gibeon, laying siege to it.
Eka ruodhi abich mar jo-Amor; ruodhi ma Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lakish to gi Eglon noriwo jolwenjgi kaachiel. Negidhi kod jolweny mag-gi mi gimonjo Gibeon kendo gikedo kodgi.
6 But the inhabitants of the city of Gibeon, when it was besieged, sent to Joshua, who was then staying in the camp at Gilgal. And they said to him: “May you not draw back your hands from helping your servants. Come quickly, and free us, and bring troops. For all the kings of the Amorites, who live in the mountains, have gathered together against us.”
Jo-Gibeon nooro wach ni Joshua e kambi man Gilgal niya, “Kik ijwangʼ jotichgi. Bi irwa piyo mondo ireswa! Konywa nikech ruodhi jo-Amor duto moa e piny manie wi got oseriwore mondo omonjwa.”
7 And Joshua ascended from Gilgal, and the entire army of warriors with him, very strong men.
Omiyo Joshua kaachiel gi jolweny mage mathuondi nowuok Gilgal mapiyo nono mondo odhi oresgi.
8 And the Lord said to Joshua: “You should not fear them. For I have delivered them into your hands. None of them will be able to withstand you.”
Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Joshua niya, “Kik iluorgi; asechiwogi e lwetu. Onge kata ngʼata achiel kuomgi mabiro sirou.”
9 And so Joshua, ascending from Gilgal throughout the night, rushed upon them suddenly.
Kane gisewuotho otieno duto ka gia Gilgal, Joshua nomonjogi apoya.
10 And the Lord set them in disarray before the face of Israel. And he crushed them in a great defeat at Gibeon, and he pursued them along the way of the ascent to Beth-horon, and he struck them down, even as far as Azekah and Makkedah.
Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo gichalo joma orundore e nyim jo-Israel, mine giloyogi gi loch maduongʼ e Gibeon. Jo-Israel nolawogi ka giluwo yo madhi Beth Horon mi ginegogi ma gichopo kodgi nyaka Azeka kod Makeda.
11 And while they were fleeing from the sons of Israel, and were on the descent of Beth-horon, the Lord cast great stones from heaven upon them, as far as Azekah. And many more were killed by the hailstones, than were struck down by the swords of the sons of Israel.
E kinde mane giringo e nyim jo-Israel e yo moa Beth Horon kadhi Azeka, Jehova Nyasaye nolwaro pe madongo kuomgi koa e polo kendo thothgi nomedo tho nikech peno nonego ji mangʼeny moloyo mago mane jo-Israel onego gi ligangla.
12 Then Joshua spoke to the Lord, on the day that he handed over the Amorite in the sight of the sons of Israel, and he said before them: “O sun, you shall not move toward Gibeon! O moon, you shall not move toward the valley of Aijalon!”
E odiechiengʼ mane Jehova Nyasaye ochiwo jo-Amor ni jo-Israel, Joshua nowachone Jehova Nyasaye e nyim jo-Israel niya, “Yaye wangʼ chiengʼ, chungʼ kar tiendi ewi Gibeon, to in dwe, chungʼ mana ewi holo mar Aijalon.”
13 And the sun and the moon stood still, until the people had avenged themselves of their enemies. Has this not been written in the book of the just? And so the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and it did not hurry to its rest for the space of one day.
Omiyo wangʼ chiengʼ nochungʼ kar tiende, to dwe bende ne ok osudo, nyaka oganda mar jo-Israel nochulo kuor kuom wasikgi, mana kaka nondike e Kitap Jashar. Wangʼ chiengʼ nosiko kochungʼ e polo kuom thuolo madirom odiechiengʼ achiel.
14 Never before and never after was there so long a day, as when the Lord obeyed the voice of a man, and fought for Israel.
Onge odiechiengʼ machal gi ma manosebetie ma Jehova Nyasaye nowinje kwayo mar dhano. Adier, adier Jehova Nyasaye ne kedo ni jo-Israel!
15 And Joshua returned, with all of Israel, into the camp of Gilgal.
Bangʼe Joshua noduogo gi jo-Israel duto e kambi man Gilgal.
16 For the five kings had fled, and had hidden themselves in a cave, near the city of Makkedah.
Koro ruodhi abichgo noringo kendo gipondo e rogo mantiere Makeda.
17 And it was reported to Joshua that the five kings had been found hidden in a cave, near the city of Makkedah.
Kane owach ne Joshua ni ruodhi abichgo nopondo e rogo mar Makeda,
18 And he instructed his companions and said: “Roll vast stones to the mouth of the cave, and station attentive men who will keep them closed.
nowacho niya, “Dinuru dho rogono gi kidi maduongʼ kendo uket jomoko kanyo mondo orite.
19 But as for you, do not stay here; instead, pursue the enemies, and cut down the lattermost of those who are fleeing. You shall not permit those whom the Lord God has delivered into your hands to enter into the protection of their cities.”
Un to kik uchungʼ kanyo, lawuru wasiku, monjgiuru kua gichien kendo kik uwegi gichop e miechgi madongo, nikech Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu osechiwogi e lwetu.”
20 Thus, the adversaries were struck down in a great defeat, and having been nearly consumed, even to utter annihilation, those who were able to escape from Israel entered into fortified cities.
Omiyo Joshua kod jo-Israel notiekogi chuth makmana joma tin ema nodongʼ e miechgi madongo mochiel kod ohinga.
21 And the entire army returned to Joshua at Makkedah, where they were then encamped, in good health and in their full numbers. And no one dared to move his tongue against the sons of Israel.
Jolweny duto noduogo ir Joshua e kambi man Makeda maonge hinyruok moro, kendo onge ngʼama nowuoyo marach kuom jo-Israel.
22 And Joshua instructed, saying, “Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forward to me the five kings, who are hidden within it.”
Joshua nowacho niya, “Yawuru dho rogono kendo ugol ruodhi abichgo oko mi ukelgi ira.”
23 And the ministers did just as they had been ordered. And they led out to him the five kings from the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.
Omiyo negigolo ruodhi abichgo oko mi gikelogi, ne gin ruodh Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lakish kod Eglon.
24 And when they had been led out to him, he called all the men of Israel, and he said to the leaders of the army who were with him, “Go, and place your feet upon the necks of these kings.” And when they had gone and had tread their feet upon the necks of those who were thrown down,
Kane gisekelo ruodhigi ne Joshua, noluongo jo-Israel duto kendo owachone jotend lweny mane obiro kode niya, “Biuru ka kendo unyon ngʼut ruodhigi.” Omiyo negibiro mi ginyono ngʼutgi piny.
25 he spoke to them again: “Do not be afraid, and do not dread. Be strengthened and be steadfast. For so will the Lord do to all your enemies, against whom you fight.”
Joshua nowachonegi niya, “Kik uluor, kendo kik chunyu nyosre. Beduru motegno kendo gi chir. Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye biro timo ne wasigu duto ma ubiro kedogo.”
26 And Joshua struck them down and killed them, and he suspended them on five gallows. And they hung there until evening.
Bangʼe Joshua nomonjogi mi onego ruodhigo kendo olierogi e yien abich. Nowegi ka giliero e yiendego nyaka odhiambo.
27 And when the sun had set, he instructed his assistants that they should take them down from the gallows. And having been taken down, they cast them into the cave, where they had lain hidden, and they set vast stones at its mouth, which remain, even to the present.
Kane chiengʼ osepodho, Joshua nogolo chik mondo olor ringregi e yiende mane oliergie kendo odirgi e rogo kama negisepondoe. Negidino dho rogono gi kite madongo, ma pod ni kanyo nyaka chil kawuono.
28 Also on the same day, Joshua seized Makkedah, and he struck it with the edge of the sword, and he put to death its king and all its inhabitants. He did not leave in it even the smallest remains. And he did to the king of Makkedah, just as he had done to the king of Jericho.
E odiechiengno Joshua nokawo Makeda. Notieko dala maduongʼno kod ruodhe gi ligangla kendo otieko ngʼato angʼata mane ni e iye. Onge ngʼama notony kanyo. Notimone ruodh Makeda mana kaka notimone ruodh Jeriko.
29 Then he went on, with all of Israel, from Makkedah to Libnah, and he fought against it.
Eka Joshua kod jo-Israel duto mane ni kode nodhi Libna koa Makeda mi omonje.
30 And the Lord delivered it, with its king, into the hands of Israel. And they struck the city with the edge of the sword, and all its inhabitants. They did not leave in it any remains. And they did to the king of Libnah, just as they had done to the king of Jericho.
Jehova Nyasaye nochiwo dala maduongʼni bende kod ruodhe e lwet jo-Israel. Dala maduongʼni to gi jogo duto modak e iye Joshua nonego gi ligangla. Onge ngʼama notony kanyo. Notimone ruodhgi mana kaka notimone ruodh Jeriko.
31 From Libnah, with all of Israel, he went on to Lachish. And taking positions around it with his army, he besieged it.
Eka Joshua kod jo-Israel duto mane ni kode nodhi Lakish koa Libna; mi gimonje.
32 And the Lord delivered Lachish into the hands of Israel, and he seized it on the following day, and he struck it with the edge of the sword, and every soul that was in it, just as he had done to Libnah.
Jehova Nyasaye nochiwo Lakish ne jo-Israel, to Joshua to ne okawe e odiechiengʼ mar ariyo. Dala maduongʼno kod ji duto modak kanyo nonego gi ligangla, mana kaka ne otimone Libna.
33 At that time, Horam, the king of Gezer, went up so that he might assist Lachish. And Joshua struck him with all his people, even unto utter annihilation.
Kuom mano, Horam ruodh Gezer nobiro mondo okony Lakish, to Joshua noloye kaachiel gi jolweny mage maonge ngʼama notony.
34 And he went on from Lachish to Eglon, and he surrounded it.
Eka Joshua gi jo-Israel mane ni kode nodhi Eglon koa Lakish mi gimonje.
35 And he also defeated it on the same day. And he struck all the souls that were in it with the edge of the sword, in accord with all that he had done to Lachish.
Ne gikawe odiechiengʼ nogono mi ginego ji duto kendo giketho gimoro amora mangima manie iye, mana kaka negisetimone Lakish.
36 He also ascended, with all of Israel, from Eglon into Hebron, and he fought against it.
Eka Joshua gi jo-Israel mane ni kode nodhi Hebron koa Eglon, mi gimonje.
37 He seized it and struck it with the edge of the sword, likewise with its king, and all the towns of that region, and all the souls that were staying in it. He did not leave any remains in it. Just as he had done to Eglon, so also did he do to Hebron, consuming with the sword all that he found within it.
Negikawo dala maduongʼno mi ginego ruodhe kod gimoro amora mangima mane ni kuno kaachiel gi mago mane nitie e mier matindo mokiewo kode. Onge ngʼama notony, mana kaka ne otimone Eglon.
38 Returning from there to Debir,
Eka Joshua gi jo-Israel mane ni kode noduogo mi omonjo Debir.
39 he seized it and laid waste to it, likewise with its king. And all the surrounding towns, he struck with the edge of the sword. He did not leave in it any remains. Just as he had done to Hebron and Libnah, and to their kings, so did he do to Debir and to its king.
Negikawo dala maduongʼno, ruodhe kod mier matindo mokiewo kode mi ginegogi. Ji duto mane odak kanyo negitieko chuth kendo onge joma notony. Negitimone Debir kod ruodhe mana kaka negitimone Libna gi ruodhe, to gi Hebron.
40 And so Joshua struck the entire land, the mountains, and the south, and the plains, and the descending slopes, with their kings. He did not leave in it any remains, but he put to death all that was able to breathe, just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had instructed him,
Omiyo Joshua nokawo gwengʼno duto kaachiel gi piny manie got ma en Negev, e tiend gode ma yo podho chiengʼ, to gi kuonde mag pewe kaachiel gi ruodhigi duto. Onge joma notony. Notieko jogo duto mangima, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, nosechiko.
41 from Kadesh-barnea, as far as Gaza, with all the land of Goshen, as far as Gibeon.
Joshua nokawogi koa Kadesh Barnea nyaka Gaza kendo koa e gwenge duto ma Goshen nyaka Gibeon.
42 And all their kings and their regions, he seized and destroyed with a single attack. For the Lord, the God of Israel, fought on his behalf.
Joshua nomako ruodhigo duto kaachiel gi pinjegi e lweny achielno nimar Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, nokedo ni joge.
43 And he returned, with all of Israel, to the place of the encampment at Gilgal.
Bangʼe Joshua noduogo gi jo-Israel duto e kambi man Gilgal.
